The thing to remember is that he was looking at Zero Waste 'from the
waste management standpoint' (parag 3). This naturally constrains his
view. In parag. 6 he says: ... but as waste managers our duty is
equally simple: take charge of the public's waste and see to its proper
disposition."

Couldn't be truer! We as a society gave over to the
professionals in the waste management sector responsibility for cleaning
up after us. If we don't like what we see, we should look back at that
decision.
